On the Relationship Between Normal Stiffness and Permeability of Rock Fractures

Abstract The hydraulic permeability and normal stiffness of rock fractures are fundamentally related, which can serve as a probe for assessing hydro‐mechanical properties in a variety of geo‐engineering contexts. We present experimentally validated numerical simulations of fracture closure and fluid...
